Amali NYC

Four of us met for lunch on a rainy winter afternoon. None of us had ea ten at Amali previously. Service was prompt and courteous, and the room is attractive and uncluttered. The menu includes nice salads, larger entrees, brunch foods, and sandwiches. I'll comment on the dish I had, which was a steak salad. The steak was of good quality, and it was cooked as I requested. It was served with a bitter green and a cheese that tasted a little like goat cheese. The dish was very good but would have been better with more flavor contrast. The bitter greens could have been more bitter, and a more flavorful vinaigrette would have made the dish more interesting. My nephew thought his burger was excellent, my wife enjoyed her salmon salad, and my brother enjoyed his olive oil pancakes. As a lunch spot near Bloomingdale's this is a fine choice, and I would happily visit again.

The preparation and service were first rate. However, the quality of my filet and my wife's lamb were just average. Disappointed, and will not be returning.

I met some friends for dinner here, and it was an unexpected but great find. The food was great, and the staff took great care of us. Thinking about the roasted garlic labneh makes my mouth water. The truffle steak and fingerling potatoes were also very flavorful. I will be back!

My dining experience at Amali with three friends was simply exceptional. From the moment we entered, the ambiance welcomed us with its charming allure. The service was impeccable, striking the perfect balance between attentiveness and allowing us to enjoy our meal uninterrupted. We started with the hummus and labneh, which I dare say was the best I've ever had. My choice of the filet mignon was cooked to perfection, and the side of fingerling potatoes were beyond delicious. The server's recommendation for a wine pairing added another layer of enjoyment to our meal. In summary, the vibe, service, and food at Amali exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend it as a must-visit dining destination.

great place , variety of food Good wine and drinks list The atmosphere is excellent as well as the service

Not a thrill to be had. Unappealing atmosphere. The key flavors in the Whipped Feta could not be found. The Spaghetti alla Chitarra was bland and the pasta was overcooked. The latte was average. The saving grace of this meal was the extensive wine list.
